Nope. It doesn't work. I've grabbed the latest tarballs and MRG kernel from
Allen Brigg's machine (puma.bevd.etc...) and tried them yesterday evening.
My machine gets up to the point where it should initialize the ADB and there
it hangs.
For the technical people: my configuration:
Mac LC III with FPU, 8MB RAM, 1.4GB Hard Disk (MacOS partitioned), external
300 MB hard disk (128 A/UX 3.0 root&usr partition, 64MB swap partition,
a couple of megs eschatology - whatever that may be - and a 128 MB MacOS
partition.)
If anybody's interested, I can always mail a copy of the screen output.
Sorry for the bad news.
